Saw a preview for this before Django Unchained. The humor seemed to be of the Wayan brothers school of comedy. Maybe I'm just gunshy after enduring one of the Scary Movie films and about 10 minutes of Meet the Spartans, but I don't have ay desire to see this one based on the trailer.

Can we be hopeful that Hollywood now realizes that the avalanche of bad comedies like this, anything by the Wayan brothers, Martin Lawrence and the truly abysmal Friedberg/Seltzer team are not worth making?

...probably not.

I still think that first trailer looked funny (certainly compared to Wayans dreck- it reminded me more of Amazon Women on the Moon), and there were a lot of people working on it in front of and behind the camera that I like, but I haven't seen anything amusing since then. And you really can't argue with a 4%.

Sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound like I was insulting anyone's taste. I just have such a hatred of the Scary Movie franchise, all those damn Meet the Spartans/Date Movie/Epic Movie pieces of crap that anything that even remotely looks like one of them gets the full and unfettered force of my bile. Unfortunately, every trailer I was subjected to for this (first on the 'net then in the previews for other films) was progressively more awful. The Richard Gere iPod joke alone was enough to cause me to wish death on the writer.

But I give the makers kudos for earning this great review tag line:

"Movie 43" is the "Citizen Kane" of awful.

p.s. years ago I touted a film called Dragon Wars based on a trailer I saw. Little did I know that that film actually made CGI dragons and giant monsters so painfully boring that I fell asleep 20 minutes into the movie...and during an "action" scene no less.

This piece of Hollywood crapola took 3 years to shoot and it was the brainchild of a producer named Ryan Kavanaugh, whose other producing credits include the excretable 'Skyline', the humongous flop 'Cowboys And Aliens', and the OMG-unfunny 'Land Of The Lost', amongst many other turds. The vast majority of actors who agreed to appear in the film are reportedly sorry they participated, according to Hollywood insider website Deadline.com

Hey, I liked Cowboys and Aliens. I thought the ad campaign hamstrung an otherwise entertaining western.
